Synergic Effect Of "Green" Chemistry And Lean Production

Abstract

In the modern Russian industry, the problem of environmental friendliness of production and the rational use of material resources is especially relevant. Inefficient organization of production processes poses a threat to the ecosystem of the industrial zone. The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for the integration of the concepts of "green" chemistry and lean production to minimize production losses in chemical technological systems. The research methodology for production losses of chemical technological systems is based on the principles of "green" chemistry and the concept of lean production. A dialectical and systemic approach, methods of cause-effect relationships, and structural-functional analysis are used to achieve this goal. Determination of possible losses by types of chemical production is carried out based on logical and mathematical calculations of the resource intensity of production, identification of extrema, and correlation dependences between the parameters under study. The article proposes integrating the principles of "green" chemistry and lean manufacturing to form a unified system with the emergence effect "Green lean manufacturing". A methodological approach to assessing possible losses of material resources based on the determination of the extremes of the resource intensity of production is proposed. A close linear dependence of the specific material consumption of production and the added value received from a production unit is revealed.
